Theatre and life...

Above are BC & Spud.

Went to see "Rigoletto" on the weekend... Was a fabulous show! The set was new and intriguing, the singing was superb. This is what attracted me to Vancouver Opera in the first place.

Also saw "Toronto Mississippi" earlier last week. Probably the show we have enjoyed most this season. Went to Century House for dinner beforehand - food was yummy, and good value. You can find a clips here and links here.
